본 연구는 수도권과 비수도권의 가계지출 부담이 기혼여성의 출산 의사에 미치는 영향을 패널로짓 모형을 이용해 비교분석하였다. 실증분석의 핵심 대상인 기혼여성의 범위는 가임 가능성이 높은 25세부터 39세까지로 한정하였다. 주요 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 거주 지역과는 관계없이 대체로 배우자의 경제력이 기혼여성의 출산 의사에 있어 중요한 요인일 수 있다는 점을 확인하였다. 둘째, 결혼생활 만족도는 높을수록 출산 의사에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있었으며, 자녀가 반드시 있어야 한다는 가치관이 있을수록 출산 의사가 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 가계지출 부담은 기존 자녀 수와 같은 내부요인을 제외하고 기혼여성의 출산 의사에 있어 가장 중요한 영향을 미치는 요인임을 확인하였다. 특히 수도권과 비수도권 모두 교육비 지출에 대한 부담은 출산 의사를 큰 폭으로 감소시키는 핵심 원인으로 나타났다. 넷째, 가계지출 부담은 거주 지역에 따라 출산 의사에 상이한 영향을 보이는 것으로 나타났는데, 수도권은 의료비 및 원리금 대출이, 비수도권은 교통통신비가 출산 의사에 더 큰 영향을 미치고 있었다. 이를 통해 본 연구는 출산 제고를 위해서는 가계지출에 대한 부담완화가 지속적으로 필요하며, 거주 지역에 따라 차별적인 정책접근이 요구된다는 시사점을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine how married women with a child perceived the low-fertility issue in order to increase the success of policy decisions for increasing the fertility rate and to present alternatives. The study subjects were 327 married women with a child who resided in Dongjak-gu, Seoul. After the survey was conducted, the collected data were analyzed with SPSS 11.5 program. The findings of the study were as follows. First, the married women who already had one child found it ideal to have two children. In fact, however, 36.4% had determined not to have another child, and only one parent wanted to have a second child in 26.9%. Second, they took a dismal view of the government's fertility encouragement policies, and they considered it necessary for the government to pursue a more down-to-earth measure. Third, economic aid for child rearing and education was identified as the most critical way to boost the childbirth rate. In conclusion, current national policies aimed at increasing the low-fertility rate are redundant if they are only designed to publicize government action. Actions need to be taken to assist married women in taking better advantage of the existing policies.

The nation's birthrate has been rapidly falling. The purpose of this study was to explore the factors related to low birthrate, by analyzing TV dramas dealing with childbirth and rearing. Content analysis is well suited to research probing widespread cultural notions or behavior. If any part or all of the dramas discussed an aspect of childbirth and rearing, we recorded verbatim quotes and paraphrased some specific points. Using the technique of multiple observers, inter rater as well as intra rater reliabilities were measured. The results showed that emergent themes in TV dramas on low birthrate are social environment, family context, and value changes. The conclusions and implications of these findings are discussed.

Purpose: Gestational weight gain and prepregnancy body weight are important factors of childbirth outcomes, which further cause obesity, metabolic diseases, or psychological problems later in women's lives. Changes in diet, westernized lifestyle, traditional postpartum care, and childbirth at older age are thought to be threats to proper weight management in Korean women of reproductive age. Public health and antenatal care need to focus on the proper body weight management of women by carefully planning pregnancy to postpartum periods. Purpose: This study explored the body weight changes from pregnancy to postpartum and the related characteristics in women within 12 months after childbirth. Methods: A cross-sectional, retrospective study was conducted with 102 Korean women within 12 months after childbirth. Data were collected using an online survey system, and a structured questionnaire available for electronic self-administration was modified to include demographics, obstetrical history, and body weight at 6 time points. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire and Eating Habit Measurement instruments were also used in data collection. A professional survey agency recruited the participants, and data were automatically saved and then analyzed. Results: The average age of the participants was 33.8 years, 48% were housewives and were well-educated. Seventy-two percent of the participants were primiparas and 82% had breastfed their babies. The body mass index (BMI) ranged from 17.3 to 27.8, indicating that 21.5% of the participants were overweight or obese. The mean gestational weight gain was 11.8 kg, and weight loss was apparent during the first 3 months postpartum. The mean decline in weight was 3.4 kg at one year after childbirth. Women wanted to lose 5.6 kg (range: 3~20 kg), however 44% of them reported that they had not engaged in any weight control efforts. Further, 72% of them reported having engaged in a low level of physical activity. Body weight was not associated with women's characteristics, physical activity score, and diet. Conclusion: Women's awareness of gestational weight gain, lifestyle modification, and the risk of prolonged weight retention should be promoted through the antenatal and women's healthcare systems. As pregnancy and childbirth are critical events that affect women's health, integrative education to ensure healthy transition to life after delivery is required.

연구 목적 : 본 연구는 대한민국 사회와 한국교회가 직면하게 된 저출산 시대라는 위기와 변화를 기독교 교육적 돌봄을 통한 대응과 해결 방안을 제시하기 위한 목적이다. 이를 위하여 대한민국 사회와 교회에 현실이 된 인구절벽, 저출산 문제를 하나님의 축복으로 임신과 출산 그리고 부모됨에 대한 의미를 성경적 측면에서 대안을 찾고자 함이다. 연구 내용 및 방법 : 저출산 시대에 부모가 된다는 부모 됨은 매우 어렵고 힘든 일이지만, 한편으로는 행복과 기쁨을 준다. 부모가 된다는 것은, 하나님의 축복이고, 일생에 가장 중요하고 가치 있는 일이다. 그러나 현대 사회는 부모가 되는 것을 스스로 선택할 수 있는 권리와 필요성을 강조한다. 핵가족화와 자녀 수의 감소, 그리고 아동 연구 발달 등으로 인해서 부모들은 어느 때보다 자녀 양육에 대한 많은 책임감과 경제적인 부담을 느끼게 한다. 따라서 부모가 되는 시기를 연기하거나 자발적으로 자녀를 갖지 않는 사람들도 점자 늘어나고 있는 것이 현실이다. 결론 및 제언 : 따라서 자녀 양육에 대한 책임감 저하로 인한 부모 됨에 대한 부정적인 인식을 개선하고자 하는 목적을 따라서, 기독교 교육적 관점에서 결혼과 임신과 출산 그리고 양육에 대해서 조명해 보아야 한다. 그리고 부모 됨의 인식과 이해 그리고 자녀 출산 및 양육의 특징을 파악하고, 과거와 현재의 가치변화 양상을 분석하고 원인을 논의와 저출산 해결을 비롯한 전반적인 육아 양육에 대한 기독교 교육적 돌봄을 제공하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the college students' and married adults' perceptions of the current low fertility and their motivations of parenthood. It also verifies the gender differences in the numbers of planned children between male and female college students. The sample population included 100 unmarried undergraduate students and 100 married adults. The measurements included in the questionnaire were based on recommendations from the literature review. The major findings of this study are as follows: Women reported higher levels of traditional-normal and altruistic-emotional motivations of parenthood than men did. College students reported higher levels of motivations of parenthood to strengthen biological family ties than married adults did, while adults reported higher levels of martial bond-strengthening, traditional-normal, and gene-preservative motivations of parenthood than students did. College students attributed the current low fertility to the tight labor market and high costs of childbirth and rearing while married adults attributed to gender-discriminating traditional family norms, increasing infertility, and poor conditions of pregnancy and childbirth. Female and adult respondents took the social problems caused by the current low fertility more seriously than their counterparts did.
